PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus capable of preventing a picture displayed by a display means when driving a mirror unit from getting hard-to-view. SOLUTION: The imaging apparatus includes a finder optical system capable of observing a subject image by using luminous flux from a photographic lens (103); the mirror unit switched to a 1st state where it reflects the luminous flux toward the finder optical system and a 2nd state where it makes the luminous flux reach the imaging device (106) and then driven; the display means (107) for displaying the picture generated by using output from the imaging element; and a control means (135) for controlling the driving of the display means. The control means controls the display means to display prescribed information before the mirror unit is switched from the 2nd state to the 1st state and then driven. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
